stop buying tesla, stop supporting spacex, and stop buying starlink

And stop using Xitter.

SpaceX will be the only game in town once the new administration eviscerates nasa

^^ this. In America the only vote that really matters is the one you do with your wallet.

But what launch provider should I use then?

Boeing? No, I don't think so.

[-] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 6 points 3 weeks ago

Starlink is the only decent satellite internet provider

[-] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 5 points 3 weeks ago

I would have no other alternative for internet access unfortunately

If you're on a boat... fair enough.

Otherwise, look into WISPs... Wireless Internet Service Providers. Great for rural areas, the infrastructure is point-to-point radios, so it's super easy to go large distances without the cost of fiber or copper cables.

Best part is, if you have any neighbors that are interested, they'll often give you a discount if you let them put a sector antenna on your barn/silo. Or they can also erect a short tower if you let them too.

If there aren't any in your immediate area, reach out to ones nearby. They're always looking to expand.

Thanks I'll look into that, never heard of it. I'm on an island

If it were that simple, and they were comparable/better than starlink, they'd be a lot more prominent than they are, no? You're leaving out information.

[-] piecat@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

It really is that simple. I wouldn't chose it over wired, but it's still pretty good. You're going to beat the latency of satellites every time.
